at the rst operation the flanges 'B3 are closed down upon the band A',arid thenthe terminalo the band A is released by opening the jaw F2 andthe terminal is bent back y 5 over the closed flanges B3, asplainly-.indicated in Fig. 4. In order to enable'the operator to"readily close the danges vB3 as above described, use is preferably madeof' a closing lever Gr fulcrumed on the top of the member D2 and adapteduto swing in a transverse direction. Thelever Gr is provided with a dieGr adapted to engage'theV flanges 4Blso as to press the same downward onswinging the' lever Gr down into closingA position, as fwiil be readilyunder'- .stoodby reference toI Fig. 3. It is understood that dnring thetime the closing lever G is used the band A is held taut by the jaws F,F2, and after the flanges B3' have been closed -down upon the band A,the jaw F2 is opened and the terminal of the band 'is 'bent back overthe closed flanges B3, as

previously explained and shown in Fig. 4. In case the band is not drawnsuiciently tight around the article C during the first operation asabove described, then the jaw F? is opened and the arm F is swung backinto vertical position, after which the jaw F2 is closed to take anothergrip on lthe band A and to again draw the same taut on swinging the armF downward. This operation can be. repeated as many times as necessaryto draw the band AV :very tiglit around the article C andthentheflanges.

B3 ,are closed as before explained..` After the `terminal has been bentover the flanges B3 th. surplus material is cut Aolf (see Fig. il Incase a tyingplate H is used in con- 40 j unetion with a tyingwire l,then one end v et' this 'wire l is attached 'to an eye H2 in thevertical member l-l of the said tie plate, i while the other end of .thewire is passed through an eye ll in the horizontal member .H' of thetying plate H: The'free end ofthe wire passing through the eye Hf isvengaged between the Jaws l*` and F to allow et' drawing the wire tautaround the article C.l the same asY above described relative to thebandA, and then the terminal of the wire is bent over the eye-l4 `(seedotted lines in Fig. and vis firmlypressed down incontact with the eyeby the use of the The tying device shown andidescribed is very simpleand durable in construction and can be readily applied and manipulatedfor drawing the band A or thewire .l tightlyY around the article C andthen fastening the free end of the band or wirein'plaee on thecorresponding tying plate B or H.

By reference to Fig. l it will be noticed that the 'jaw F iasapproximately on a level with .the top of tlie member Bf of the tyingAplate'l atthe time the arm F is in vertical positionso that theterminal of the A can be readily clamped invposition' on the The flangesB3 are preferably provided on their inner faces with struck-up projec-7e tiens adapted to take. a firm hold of the band A when pressed in.contact withy the same to allow of cutting off the band-inter". mediatethe tying'plate B and the jaws F,

F2 to allow of bending the band end back -fia over the flanges B1x andwithout danger of the band slipping in the tying plate,

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

1. A tying device for use yon a band attached at one end to a tyingplate, comprisamV ingan angular holder ,adapted to fit onto an angulartying plate Iand having in' one member an opening for the reception ofthe 35 I -member of the holder and provided with a jaw, and a jaw rleverfulcrumed on the said arm and having a jaw, the said jaws when closedbeing in alinement with the said opening and' being adapted to clamp thefree end of the band between the jaws, the said lever serving'as ahandle to swing the arm outward to draw4 the free end of the bandthrough the receiving end of the tying plate.

3. .A tying device fonuse on a band attached at one end to an angulartying plate, comprising an angular holder adapted'to lit 11G -onto thetying plateand having one member provided with anopening for thereception ofthe receiving end of the tyinfr.
